Fickle...
Yesterday many here were ready to relegate Dan Abrams to an under the bus position.

How 'bout today? A very pro Obama day.

1. Simple. He read my letter.
That's why I write them.

It is the cc to the watchdog groups that seems to get their attention. :shrug:

3. It works.....
We just need more of them to get sent.

Facts are, they don't get as many letters as people assume.
They are curious about the feedback, and so they read them.

4. I send comments, but rarely actually write whole emails -
or actual letters.

This may have to be something I'll start doing.

I'm certain that was the motivation for Abrams' about face.

6. Never underestimate the power of even one voice.
I don't....and that is what has kept me going.

8. agree
I'm writing 3 letters a day now and cc-ing the watch-dogs. It's actually a lot of fun. I just pick the top stories that outrage me and of I go:-) I agree, too, that they don't get a ton of letters because I've gotten a lot of feedback and thanks, oddly enough.
